Happy Birthday, Kakashi

style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>A/N:
Had a bit of a party for Kakashi over at my class=SpellE>lj this weekend, and these ficlets
were the result. They were all written rather quickly and probably aren’t that
great, but they were fun to write anyway. :3

Rival’s Gift

style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Pairings: KakaGai wtf?

style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Warnings: uh class=SpellE>Gai? xD

class=GramE>"class=SpellE>Kakashi, my eternal rival!"style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> The voice echoed loudly
throughout the pub, and Kakashi briefly considered a
hasty exit through the fire escape. He realized he was two seconds too late,
though, when the green-clad jounin swiftly appeared
in front of his table.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>"Ah. class=SpellE>Gai."
Kakashi sighed, nodding his head in greeting as his
self-proclaimed rival took a seat next to him. Some days there just wasn't
enough alcohol. Really.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> 

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>"One cannot let one's
birthday pass without a celebration!" Gai declared
loudly as he flagged down the nearest waitress with one hand and slapped class=SpellE>Kakashi on the back with the other.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>"Oh, I've been
celebrating," he offered in defense as he gestured toward the empty beer
bottle in front of him. With any luck, he'd be able to dissuade him from his
bizarre need to entertain him every year for his birthday. When he glanced over
at the laughing man with the bowl-cut, though, he realized it wouldn't be quite
that easy.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> 

class=GramE>"Nonsense.style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> One must live life to the class=GramE>fullest, and special occassions
even more so!"

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> 

class=GramE>'Oh, no.style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> He's getting that fiery
look in his eyes again,' Kakashi thought dejectedly
as he realized there would be no easy out this time.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>One hour and several beers
later found the duo laughing together for no explicable reason whatsoever as
the waitress brought two more beers.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> 

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>"So let me ask you
something," Kakashi said unexpectedly as he
picked at the foil wrapper on one of the empty bottles in front of him.
"You really believe that crap you're spouting off all the time?" Curiously
turning his eye on his companion, he watched as a strange expression clouded class=SpellE>Gai's face momentarily. A moment later, though, it was
gone, replaced by his usual grin.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> 

class=GramE>"Of
course.
You mustn't waste your youth - springtime or not - on what-ifs." class=SpellE>Kakashi grinned at the response that was just so class=SpellE>Gai. Perhaps running into his exuberant friend today
was not such a bad thing. It beat drinking alone at any rate.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> 

class=SpellE>Kakashistyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> was startled from that
thought, though, when Gai then added, "I didn't
get you anything for your birthday, but..." A large hand then landed
heavily on his inner thigh, and made its intentions known when it began sliding
upward. His only outward reaction was the raising of an eyebrow as class=SpellE>Gai leaned closer and whispered just loud enough to hear,
"If I can't make you peak in under two minutes,
I'll ascend the steps of Hokage Mountain 200 times on
my hands."

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> 

class=SpellE>Kakashistyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> grinned behind his mask and
made no protest when Gai's hand found the zipper of
his pants. It'd be fun to spend tomorrow on class=SpellE>Hokage style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>Mountainstyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> with his favorite book
watching his rival climb the steps a few hundred times, after all.
